Question

1. which of the following steps does not provide a way to identify symbols within a work of literature? look for concrete objects in the text to see if they represent something deeper than their own literal meaning. look at events, people, or places that help to convey the theme. look for a description of symbols in the exposition. look closely at objects or places that are repeated or have lengthy descriptions or special emphasis.

Explanation:

To identify symbols in literature, one looks for concrete objects representing deeper meanings, descriptions of symbols, and events/people/places conveying themes. Looking closely at objects/places with repeated or lengthy descriptions/special emphasis is a valid approach. The option about looking at events, people, or places to convey the theme is more about theme - identification rather than symbol - identification.

Answer:

Look at events, people, or places that help to convey the theme.
